Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens prediction, odds, Picks & Betting Trends - Week 12 Sunday Night Football
The Cleveland Browns will travel to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC North Sunday Night Football showdown.
The Browns are currently 6-5 but should be doing much better. They were touted as potential Super Bowl contenders but are presently clinging onto their playoff hopes. The team offloaded wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and injuries to running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt have certainly hurt their offensive production.
But it's quarterback Baker Mayfield's performances that have been a real worry. He's yet to prove that he's a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback and with his contract expiring at the end of the 2022 season, time is running out for the former #1 draft pick.
The Ravens have no such issues at quarterback. Lamar Jackson is carrying the offense on his back and has been consistent irrespective of the personnel around him. He's one of the leading candidates for the NFL MVP award and his performances have helped the Ravens keep pace with the Tennessee Titans atop the AFC standings.
It's a battle between two quarterbacks on opposite ends of the form spectrum, but anything can happen in a divisional battle, especially on Sunday Night Football.

The Browns' only hope is to get the ground game going. Mayfield's performance as a passer has been subpar. But they will be up against the second-best rushing defense in the NFL. It's tough to envision a scenario where the Browns can upset the Ravens. Expect Baltimore to cover and bet the under.
